The GOP’s “How To Manipulate A Nation Like the Third Reich” Handbook

June 4, 2011

By: Jamie Clark

Michele Bachmann was in Washington D.C. yesterday speaking at the Faith and Freedom Coalition conference. She applauded Minnesota lawmakers for “carrying the torch” of discrimination, and said “This is the time to outlaw gay marriage” and called on other states to begin the overthrow of their Constitutions. This, of course, from the woman that claims “God” is speaking to her. In March of 2004, when speaking about the possible chance to hijack the Constitution to permanently ban gay marriage, she even said that it would be an “awesome day” to have the opportunity to “beseech the Lord.”

Maybe, I should not be so hard on Michelle, after all, it’s not like she is the only person in politics who has had one on one talks with the Big Guy. One man in particular comes to mind. Here are a couple of his quotes.

“Who say I am not under the special protection of God?” and “Hence today, I believe that I am acting in accordance with the Will of the Almighty Creator.”
No, those are not the words of a saint or holy prophet, quite the opposite actually. These are both quotes from the mass murderer, Adolf Hitler (A.H.).  Now, I’m not saying that Bachmann is a reincarnation of pure evil, but honestly,  she does sounds a little like him, leaving me to wonder where her true inspiration comes from. As I have researched this thought more, I can’t help but feel perhaps she has a “this is how to brainwash in the Third Reich way” handbook and she has made copies that she sent out to her buddies. After all, you can’t overthrow freedom all by your lonesome. That kind of tactical take over needs reinforcements.

One of Bachmann’s go to guys is Bradlee “Fred Phelps is my hero” Dean, the man responsible for the “You Can Run But You Can’t Hide” anti-gay ministry. Right now Dean is using young members of his organization to go in the community and ask unknowing citizens for donations to assist in suicide prevention.  People think this is a great cause and don’t mind giving a few bucks, not realizing they are helping fund an anti-gay hate group. This guy is bad enough that even Wal-Mart no longer wants him gracing their parking lots with his hate agenda.  Bachmann however,  fully supports Dean’s dangerous ministry. After he did the now notorious opening prayer on the Minnesota Legislature floor, there were complaints from all over the state. Pathetically, Michelle  feels that Dean is an upstanding citizen, so much so, in fact, that not only does she contribute funds to his campaign of hate, she also offered some kind words to those that oppose him and his beliefs. She said, “This ministry ‘You Can Run But You Can’t Hide,’ they are not sidetracked, they are on course. They’re way on course, because they get it. They get what this is all about.” ……Wait a minute, hold that thought.

Bradlee Dean is the “Christian” that believes homosexuality should be punishable by death  in this country. A year ago Dean said the following  “Muslims are calling for the executions of homosexuals in America,” Dean said on YCR’s May 15 radio show on AM 1280 the Patriot. “This just shows you they themselves are upholding the laws that are even in the Bible of the Judeo-Christian God, but they seem to be more moral than even the American Christians do, because these people are livid about enforcing their laws. They know homosexuality is an abomination.”  This is when I began to think about other things that  Bachmann and her “Christian” extremists have done and said , after all, I am a lesbian in Minnesota. The big picture does not look pretty, in fact it  looks down right disturbing .

“Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it.”  A.H.

Well, obviously this works because, a lot of people think homosexuals recruit and molest children, something that is said time and time (and time and time) again by people like Bachmann, Dean, and many religious leaders, particuarily in the Roman Catholic Church (RCC). The involvement of the RCC in this smear campaign reminds me however, of the old saying that  ‘the one pointing fingers is usually the guilty party.’ Here is a nice site that shows just who is really destroying the lives of innocent children. We are living in a sad time when there is a need to have a website that tracks pedophiles in the church. Sure there have been a large reports of men in church positions who have molested boys, however, these child molesters are nothing but opportunists. They take what they can get. Honestly, how many alter girls have you seen running around churches these days anyway?….

“Thus inwardly armed with confidence in God and the unshakable stupidity of the voting citizenry, the politicians can begin the fight for the ‘remaking’ of the Reich as they call it.” A.H. (from Mein Kampf)— I think this one simply speaks for itself.
“Demoralize the enemy from within by surprise, terror, sabotage, assassination. This is the war of the future.” A.H.

Well, here we are in that future. The parts about demoralization, surprise, terror and sabotage definitely hit the mark. These people and organizations have been doing all of these to the gay community for years, rather successfully I might add. What about the “assassination” part though?

Have you heard of the “Minnesota Shoot First Bill?” Republican legislators were also working on this unnecassary and dangerous bill at the same time they were arguing about the the hijacking of the MN state Constitution (aka the Minnesota Marriage Amendment). The bill, which didn’t make it past the Senate but will most likely rear its ugly head again in January, would allow a person to “shoot whenever there is a perceived threat, even if the shooter could safely walk away.” Now let me take you to the story  Michele told about being held “captive” by lesbians that she thought were a threat to her life. Imagine a state that you could shoot someone just for a perceived threat then, think about this bathroom hostage story one more time. Hmmm… See where I’m going here?

Now, I’m not saying that these mercenaries are necessarily planning a modern day “Third Reich” vs the homosexuals in Minnesota and the rest of the country, but when you break things down it’s pretty noteworthy, especially when the GOP (and friends) have sentiments like “locked and loaded“- “if ballots don’t work bullets will“- “execution” of homosexuals being “moral”- and of course my pal Michelle Bachmann, who keeps saying that “God” is telling her to do things, including pushing the overthrow of the Minnesota Constitution. I just hope her voice is not the same one that the face of evil heard, for her sake and ours.

Michelle, please do us a favor. First, burn all of the “brainwash through propaganda” how-to books that you have been handing out, and then listen closer to your “voice of God” and make sure you can’t hear the crackle of hell fire in the static. If you do these things, you might sound a little more trustworthy, though not a whole lot. At least then, you and your pals won’t sound so much like war criminals…

After reading so many horrible truths, I think it is necessary to close this with words that can inspire the gay community to stand against these truth bending hijackers of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
